The Pentagon has temporarily rescinded the mandatory testosterone-screening guidance it issued just a day earlier, removing the document from its website while saying interim guidance remains in effect.
Posted Wednesday by the Defense Health Agency, the clinical guidance had made a testosterone blood test a required part of the annual health assessment for service members.
